I'm testing In the North, and I have several small potbelly stoves whose doors open and close. For the closing sound, I'm using 'manhole_close_01'. The original D3 sound is a metallic bang. The replacement sound is drawn out metal scraping against metal with a clunk at the end, which is wrong for a fireplace door shutting, especially since the sound doesn't begin until the door is already closed. Granted, the new sound is better than the original sound wrt rotating and dropping a manhole cover into place, but we should be replacing sounds with new sounds that are similar, and that's not the case here.

We need a single bang! replacement for 'manhole_close_01'. The current really good manhole rotating and clunking sound should be added to the set with a new name, i.e. 'manhole_close_02'.

re manhole cover 01: Grabbed a 'metal door closing sound' off Freesound and tried to upload it three times to Soundcloud, but it keeps coming back with 'This sound is being processed' and not being available. mad.gif215bytes0 downloads

As ever, hope they're ballpark enough. To my ears, these sizzles are more 'electric' than the D3 originals. (I am referring to the right ones? - \sound\ambient\burning\1shot_sizzle_01-3. I get confused sometimes...)

I don't get this. I've searched everywhere for a soundshader that has "sound/stress/1shot_creaking_02" in it. I can't find one anywhere. Nothing called that, and nothing that actually calls that file. There IS a sound/stress/1shot_creaking_02.ogg in the D3 base folder, however, and I know exactly where it's called in the St. Lucia map. The speaker entity has "s_shader" "sound/stress/1shot_creaking_02.ogg"

So what's the deal here? There are no relevant soundshaders in the pk4 file.

I already have an impdoor-creak1&2 from you on 12/04...is the one above the same one?

Just checked, and yes, they're the same sounds. Not sure what I was thinking - just saw it on the missing assets list and must have assumed I had uploaded them to Soundcloud but not got round to posting them here. Sorry for any confusion.

TBH, they don't sound much like the D3 originals (especially bubbles11-13) but I think they do sound like cooking pots boiling/simmering. Happy to work on getting something closer to the original if you want, just let me know; otherwise I'll assume they're OK.
